What is the difference between American Express® and MasterCard?
American Express® and MasterCard are both providers of Lloyds TSB credit cards.

The Lloyds TSB Airmiles Duo American Express® card allows you to collect up to five times more Airmiles than your Lloyds TSB Airmiles Duo MasterCard.

American Express® is widely accepted wherever you see the American Express® sign, and where you can’t use it, you’ll have your Lloyds TSB Airmiles Duo MasterCard as a back up which is accepted at over 24 million outlets worldwide.
